LOS ANGELES—There’s a lot to like about the healthcare sector right now. While other commercial sectors struggled during the recession, healthcare persevered. And, with 10,000 people turning 65 each day and then living longer, demand should remain strong for the sector.

“The overall demand for health care is incredibly high and growing,” David Lari, partner at Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP tells GlobeSt.com. “Trips to the doctor for healthcare services are high and very likely to continue to increase. The medical sector—doctors, physician groups and hospitals—tend to be pretty good tenants, especially if you compare it to retail, for instance, where a lot of tenants have gone out of business.”
